  1. aAbbreviation: CI Confidence Interval
  2. bIn these analyses, the individual joint pain standard deviation score (calculated from the three two-week pain calendars at baseline, 6 months follow-up and 12–18 months follow-up) was the main determinant and physical activity at 12–18 months follow-up the outcome measure
  3. cModel 1: adjusted for age and country of residence
  4. Model 2: additionally adjusted for educational level, smoking, alcohol consumption, weight status, number of chronic diseases, and use of analgesics and/or anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic products
